Increase in camping use fees

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is soliciting public input

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is soliciting public input on a proposal to increase the use fees for Charons Garden Wilderness camping, Fawn Creek Youth camping, Doris Campground Group Sites A, B, and C, and Boulder Shelter picnic area. The proposed fee increase would be $5.00 per reservation. Please note the increase is a per-reservation increase not a per-permit or per-day increase. The $5.00 increase will fund the costs to use on-line booking and permitting services for these reservation sites. An example of the new on-line reservation system can be found at: https://secure.kinsail.com/partners/parks.asp?p=mirage&pt=store. Reservations can still be made over the phone or in person at the Refuge.

Please direct any comments or questions to Susan Howell at (580) 429-2199 or susan_howell@fws.gov. The comment period on the proposed fee increase will close --------ADD DATE HERE, 2015. ----------Thank you for your interest and support on Refuge management issues.
